# Chapter 3251: The Identity of Liang Gu

"I only know there is also Liang Fei!" Huang Tian said this, then looked at Liang Mu, "How do you know that Buzhen True Lord is Liang Ying? Why would Jia Tianxia listen to you? Is Liang Ying really dead?"

According to Xuanyuan Lian's strategy, after all the Liang Envoys gathered together, Chi Chaluo's incarnation as Liang Ying would appear. Through this, the Liang Envoys would first suspect each other and kill one another.

Huang Tian's question was actually laying the groundwork for the subsequent plan, planting seeds of doubt in the hearts of Liang Gu and Liang Nan.

The gazes of the four Liang Envoys all fell upon Liang Mu.

Liang Mu remained calm and composed, saying, "Lord Liang Ce doubts my identity?"

"Just curious," Huang Tian said.

Liang Mu's gaze turned cold as he stared at Zhang Ruochen, saying, "For this matter, we should ask our Lord Liang Ji. Why did the Liang character imprint of Erjia Blood Ancestor appear in the Undying Divine Temple? If Erjia Blood Ancestor's identity hadn't been exposed, how could Xuanyuan Lian have suspected Buzhen True Lord?"

Undying Divine Temple — Zhang Ruochen committed this key information to memory.

Zhang Ruochen looked confused, saying, "Erjia Blood Ancestor had a Liang character imprint inside him?"

"You don't know?" Liang Mu said.

Zhang Ruochen said coldly, "Erjia Blood Ancestor was forcibly taken away by that old bastard Xue Jue, who claimed he wanted to devour him as a human-shaped blood medicine. I couldn't contend with Xue Jue, so I had to hand him over."

Liang Mu was suspicious, saying, "You hate Xue Jue that much?"

Zhang Ruochen ground his teeth and snorted, "In Xue Jue's eyes, I am nothing more than a mongrel who has defiled the Blood Absolute Family's bloodline. You don't actually think his concern for me comes from a bit of blood connection, do you?"

"Initially, he coveted the cultivation method of the 'Thirty-Three Heavens,' and later wanted to study the mysteries of my First-rank Divine Path. I am merely another human-shaped blood medicine he is cultivating!"

Liang Mu seemed to have his doubts instantly resolved and laughed loudly, "Xue Jue, ah Xue Jue! I long ago saw through his arrogant facade — it was all an act. In reality, he is extremely cunning and ruthless in his methods."

Huang Tian also laughed, saying, "No wonder back then, with his cultivation, he could retreat safely from Tiannan. It was all just for show."

"To compete for the position of heir to the Undying Blood Clan's patriarch, one must be treacherous indeed," Liang Mu said.

Liang Gu said, "Let's stop suspecting each other. The opportunity to break through the second Starry Sky Defense Line is right before us — we cannot miss it. Summon all the Liang Envoys. Only with everyone working together will our chances of success be greater."

Liang Mu said, "That's right. The Boundless Northern Expedition should be returning soon. This is our only chance. We must succeed — failure is not an option."

Zhang Ruochen stood up and walked to the position marked with the character "Ji" on the bronze round table. The Liang character imprint on his body flew out, emitting a dazzling light.

Liang Nan and Liang Ce came to their positions one after another, releasing their Liang character imprints.

In the absence of Liang Huang and Liang Zun, there were two ways to summon all the Liang Envoys.

First, the envoys of the four Liang Huang gathered at the Liang Divine Temple and used the Liang character imprint to summon them.

Second, more than half of the Liang Envoys came to the Liang Divine Temple and used the Liang character imprint to summon them.

All the Liang Envoys understood that if either of these two situations occurred, it meant something major had happened or needed to be done.

Everyone's gaze fell upon Liang Gu.

Liang Gu suddenly said, "I think summoning all the Liang Envoys like this is still a bit rash. The Liang Divine Temple should change its location!"

Zhang Ruochen's heart skipped a beat, but his heartbeat remained steady, revealing no flaw.

Liang Mu said, "Is that necessary?"

Liang Gu said, "Major events have just occurred in the Hell Realm, and Liang Ce and Liang Ji arrived in a hurry. What if someone has tracked them? It's been over eighty years — it's time to change locations!"

"Being cautious is right," Liang Nan said.

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Tian couldn't speak, their minds racing for a countermeasure.

Because once the location of the Liang Divine Temple changed, Xuanyuan Lian, Jue Miao Chan Nu, Xue Jue War God, and the others hiding nearby would lose their purpose. It would be very difficult to find their exact position again.

The opportunity to wipe out the Quantity Organization would become empty talk.

"Let's activate the Space Teleportation Array first!"

Liang Gu stood up and walked into the dark area of the Liang Divine Temple.

Liang Nan and Liang Mu followed.

"Liang Ce, Liang Ji, what's wrong? Is there something amiss?" Liang Gu turned around and looked at them.

Zhang Ruochen walked over and said, "I have to say, among all the Liang Envoys, Liang Gu is the most cautious and has the most meticulous mind."

Liang Mu laughed, "The former Liang Ji would have considered this too. Young people, after all, are still too green! If I had known the former Liang Ji was Bai Huanghou, I would have gotten closer. Haha!"

"Say a few less words!" Liang Gu said.

"Whoosh!"

Under the five people's activation, light flickered, and the entire majestic Liang Divine Temple disappeared from the underground space.

During the space teleportation, Zhang Ruochen had been calculating the spatial coordinates.

Before long, the Liang Divine Temple stabilized, still located deep underground.

Zhang Ruochen's calculations yielded results. The Liang Divine Temple's current position was a full nineteen trillion li away from its original location.

If one relied solely on flying, even a top-tier Great God would need several years to cross that distance.

A Great God couldn't maintain maximum speed the entire way.

This also meant that if a divine battle broke out here, Xuanyuan Lian and the others lying in ambush nineteen trillion li away wouldn't be able to sense it in time.

Now, they could only hope that Xuanyuan Lian and the others had detected the spatial fluctuations from the Liang Divine Temple's teleportation, calculated the spatial coordinates, and used space teleportation or found wormholes to quickly track them.

But the chances were slim!

The universe was too vast. Finding a hidden divine temple was a thousand or ten thousand times harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

"Let's cover up the Ying imprint, Fei imprint, and Lai imprint. For now, this is the only precaution we can take!"

Liang Gu's words completely cut off Zhang Ruochen's last hope.

The four Liang Envoys used their Liang character imprints to activate the bronze round table, transmitting the Liang Divine Temple's latest spatial coordinates to all the Liang Envoys, except for Liang Ying, Liang Fei, and Liang Lai.

After a brief silence, Huang Tian walked toward the Liang Divine Temple's gate and opened it.

"I wonder what place this is?"

Huang Tian waved his sleeve, and the mountain rocks and soil outside the temple gate split apart on both sides, forming an upward staircase under the construction of his spiritual power.

Just as Huang Tian was about to step out, Liang Gu said, "No need to investigate. We're still in Santu River. The spatial structure of Santu River is special, with countless Space Teleportation Arrays and spatial wormholes. At most, in a few days, they should all be able to arrive."

Liang Nan said, "Let's all wait patiently for a few days. To be safe, no one should step out of the temple gate."

In the end, Huang Tian couldn't take that step. He turned around and cast a subtle glance at Zhang Ruochen, indicating he wanted to act directly.

They couldn't wait any longer.

If they waited until all the Liang Envoys arrived, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

By then, not only would they fail to destroy the Quantity Organization, but the second Starry Sky Defense Line would also be breached.

Now, they had to act — capture Liang Gu, Liang Nan, and Liang Mu, destroy the Liang Divine Temple, and still deal a heavy blow to the Quantity Organization.

But to Huang Tian's confusion, Zhang Ruochen looked away and didn't meet his gaze.

How could Huang Tian know the shock in Zhang Ruochen's heart at this moment? Because when they activated the Space Teleportation Array and the bronze round table earlier, Zhang Ruochen had detected an extremely faint familiar aura from Liang Gu.

The other party had hidden it extremely skillfully. If Zhang Ruochen hadn't cultivated Shaoyin and Shaoyang, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

That familiar aura belonged to Xuan Yi.

If Xuan Yi was Liang Gu, then their plan had already been full of holes from the start.

Bai Huanghou was killed by Xuan Yi. Didn't he know she was the previous Liang Ji?

Yuan Chen Dashi was Zhang Ruochen — Xuan Yi knew this very well. And Yuan Chen Dashi's actions on the Starry Sky Battlefield were completely opposite to the Quantity Organization's.

Would Xuan Yi believe Zhang Ruochen was Liang Ji?

When he realized that Liang Gu was very likely Xuan Yi, Zhang Ruochen nearly lost his composure, but he managed to maintain his rationality and absolute calm, not daring to show the slightest flaw.

Now, Zhang Ruochen still had one advantage — at least Xuan Yi didn't know his identity had been exposed.

Zhang Ruochen thought carefully and guessed why Xuan Yi hadn't acted directly.

First, he didn't know whether Liang Ce was friend or foe. If foe, who would it be?

In short, he didn't have absolute confidence to control the situation in a short time and capture all enemies. If he couldn't achieve a quick victory, the battle fluctuations would inevitably leak out, and he would face an unknown number of unknown enemies.

So he chose to stabilize Zhang Ruochen first and used this opportunity to change the Liang Divine Temple's location.

This move allowed him to shift from the open to the shadows!

It turned passivity into initiative.

Since he had seized the initiative, Xuan Yi — a man of great confidence — naturally wouldn't limit his target to just Zhang Ruochen.

He was probably planning to wait until all the Liang Envoys had arrived, then capture Zhang Ruochen and the unknown Liang Ce. Afterward, using them as bait, he would lure out the gods hiding in the shadows and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Only then would he break through the second Starry Sky Defense Line.

Zhang Ruochen could guess Xuan Yi's general intentions, but breaking the deadlock was very difficult. Because Xuan Yi was sitting right beside him, too close. His strength as the number one below the Boundless realm was no empty reputation.

More importantly, Zhang Ruochen didn't dare tell Huang Tian about Xuan Yi's identity, afraid he wouldn't be able to control his emotions.

What to do?

What to do?

...

He absolutely couldn't sit idly by and wait for death.

Got it! Zhang Ruochen suddenly came up with a strategy and silently transmitted his voice using spiritual power.

Not to Huang Tian, but to Liang Mu and Liang Nan: "Huang E Shen Jun's identity as 'Liang Ce' has been exposed. San Sha Di Jun probably won't be coming back! How about we join forces and force him to hand over the Earth Cauldron? Don't make a sound, be careful, don't let him notice anything."

Liang Mu's heart stirred greatly. He thought to himself, this Zhang Ruochen kid is indeed a ruthless character. Huang E Shen Jun risked exposing his identity to save him, and he turns around and sells him out without hesitation.

Ruthless enough, treacherous enough.

But...

The Earth Cauldron — who wouldn't want it?

Although Huang E Shen Jun was strong, without San Sha Di Jun as his backing, what was there to fear?

Liang Nan's eyes flashed with a strange light. He remained expressionless and transmitted back, "Liang Gu is still here! Should we pull him in too?"

Zhang Ruochen transmitted, "Liang Gu clearly isn't on the same side as us. If we tell him, he'll definitely play the good guy and tell us to prioritize the bigger picture."

"Heh, Huang E Shen Jun has many good things on him — not only the Earth Cauldron, but also the divine artifact Red Dye Tower, and Profound Meaning."

"His identity is already exposed. He has lost his value to the Quantity Organization. The valuable things on him should rightfully be handed over to us. Only in our hands can these treasures realize their meaning."

Liang Mu transmitted, "The bigger picture? A Liang Envoy whose identity has been exposed — even if he dies, it won't affect the bigger picture."

How could Liang Nan and Liang Mu not be tempted? But their thoughts were even greedier. They planned to first use Zhang Ruochen to force Liang Ce to hand over his treasures, then make a move on Zhang Ruochen.

Because Zhang Ruochen also had many treasures on him, and his identity was also exposed.

Although Zhang Ruochen, Liang Nan, and Liang Mu's transmissions were very secretive, almost leaving no trace, they were still detected by Xuan Yi and Huang Tian.

Huang Tian was very confused, feeling like he had become an outsider.

Xuan Yi was even more confused than Huang Tian, feeling that things were somewhat different from what he had guessed.

Zhang Ruochen taking the risk to secretly contact Liang Nan and Liang Mu — in Xuan Yi's view, this was normal. With the Liang Divine Temple's location changed, how could Zhang Ruochen not be anxious?

On the contrary, the fact that Liang Nan and Liang Mu had arrived at the Liang Divine Temple before him was abnormal.

However, Xuan Yi didn't take them seriously. In the face of absolute strength, any scheme was utterly fragile and vulnerable to a single blow. Even if Zhang Ruochen, Liang Nan, and Liang Mu joined forces, it wouldn't be enough.

But Xuan Yi still glanced at Huang Tian, who wore the "Ce" character mask, and saw the fleeting confusion in Huang Tian's eyes. Instantly, he understood!

He closed his eyes to rest, quietly waiting for those with problems to jump out and court death on their own.
